SSLProtocolSocketFactory

[Pfingstl Gernot <ge...@stmk.gv.at>]

The constructor of SSLProtocolSocketFactory is "public", shouldn't it be "private"? 

In SSLProtocolSocketFactory there is called SSLSocketFactory.getDefault() to obtain a SSLSocketFactory. Is there a plan to make SSLProtocolSocketFactory more customizable, so that it uses not only the default SSLSocketFactory? I made my own implementation of SSLProtocolSocketFactory, but it would be nice (to me and maybe to others?) to have it in the httpclient package itself.

I can't answer this at the moment.

HttpClient support pluggable socket factories for that purpose. If you 
implement your own (preconfigured) SSL sockets, you should register a 
'new' Protocol for "https". See:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/protocol/Protocol.html

You may also want to have a look at the SSL Contrib package here:
